Location and setting

Located near the town of Ogden in English West Yorkshire, Halifax Golf Club offers a course steeped in natural beauty. This is one of the region's flagship courses.

Career

The 18-hole course at Halifax Golf Club has remained faithful to its original design, without having been neglected. The course has undergone many improvements in recent years: lengthening and replacement of most tees, reintroduction of abandoned bunkers, development of passable paths and bridges... All these points have made it possible to maintain the course of Halifax Golf Club among the best in the West Yorkshire region.

History

The Halifax Golf Club was founded in 1895, in Lightcliffe, on a 12-hole course. The club moved to its present course in 1902. An inaugural game in Sandy Herd and Harry Vardon was even held there.

We owe the 18-hole course to James Braid, who inaugurated it in 1906. In 1908, Herbert Fowler also intervened as an adviser on the development of the course; finally, it was Dr. Alister MacKenzie who made major changes to the Halifax course in 1912.
